Pyha Ski Holidays

Nestled above the Arctic Circle, Pyhä is a snowsure paradise that offers an ideal winter getaway. With 14km of wide, uncrowded slopes, it’s perfect for those just starting out, especially with the help of the excellent ski school where English-speaking instructors are ready to guide beginners. For seasoned skiers, the deep, powdery snow provides a delightful challenge, and if you’re up for black runs, the Huttu-Ukko is a must-try – it’s Finland’s steepest slope and a training ground for the national ski team.

The village of Pyhä is quaint, with a selection of modern Scandi-style hotels and apartments. The local restaurants offer a true taste of Finland, with dishes featuring reindeer, mushrooms, and berries. The vibe here is relaxed, making it an excellent spot for families. But if you’re in the mood for some après-ski fun, there are a couple of slopeside bars where you can unwind with music, catch live sports, or even belt out some karaoke tunes.

Beyond skiing, Pyhä offers a range of winter activities. You can experience the thrill of ice karting, try your luck at ice fishing, or embark on a night-time snowmobile adventure – all with the chance to witness the magical Northern Lights.
